ELLEN Nothing seemed to amuse me anymore, except this promotion I was pinning for. I wasn't interested in going on this trip without Cullen anymore. I had wanted to go along with him, and had even considered having an affair with him, if he had asked me to. Seven hells! That would have been crazy. It would have been a wild ride. I could almost feel him inside of me already. I wanted that, but that couldn't happen anymore. Cullen wasn't here, and I was stuck here in this bus with students chattering unnecessarily, and a few other teachers who hadn't deemed me fit to welcome into their flock. Little wonder, I had grown so attached to Cullen. I had no one else who was ready to talk with me, or listen to me. Not even Zach. I plugged my earpiece in, and tried to shut my thoughts out. Perhaps, I should have listened to Zach. It was suddenly beginning to seem like he had been right all along. I should have listened and stayed back. Maybe, I would have

ELLEN Rowdiness was all there was to see, and nothing else. Disco lights, loud music blared by speakers that seemed too loud. It was all commotion in its highest form. I sat at the far end of the room, on a high stool watching everything that went down, until my eyes bled. Sadly, I couldn't help it. Mr. Walter had instructed every teacher to mount every corner of the room where the party was to hold, in order to prevent indecent acts from taking place. What was the use of a welcoming party anyways‽ I was extremely exhausted with everything. I studied the environment with eyes that ached to be closed and rested. I really didn't see any need of indulging in a party on the first night of our arrival. It was totally unnecessary. It was our first night of arrival, and so we were meant to have been granted a long time to rest after the tiring journey of that day. Yet, they had opted for a party, and Mr. Walter had chosen otherwise. He had agreed to let the p

ELLEN If evil had a face, it was mine. The morning began as every other morning, except for the fact that it wasn't like every other one. The whole reason for our journey was to commence today. We were visiting the art museum today. Principal Walter had thought it wise to introduce the students to a world of art, in order to spike their interests in it. The trip however, was about showing them things they hadn't seen before. And exposing them to a whole new world, totally different from the one they were used to. I watched the students march into the bus in one file, and I could only hope they were able to maintain this orderliness when we arrived our destination. But that wasn't possible. I was quick to notice that Devan wasn't on the line, and I was bothered. I was quite surprised that he hadn't been the first to hurry into the bus, since he was the kind of kid that had eyes for the arts. He was scarce most of the time now, as Mr. Walter had made it a sole

ELLEN I was losing my mind, and I was sure of that. I had become so obsessed with serving Devan's revenge to him, that I had forgotten myself in the quest. Maybe, I had overdone it this time, or I had overlooked so many things. However, I couldn't stop now though, I had come too far to stop at this point. I had to keep on, until Devan's feelings had been quenched. Was I really doing this to help Devan, or for myself? Either ways, I had gone extreme this time around. Implicating Tommy the bodyguard, had been too extreme. Although, I had only just started. Tommy's arrest had only been the first string pulled in my quest. I had to keep things low for a bit now, I had to keep things hidden until it was time. Why I was obsessed with all of these, I just couldn't understand. Phew! So much for serving revenge. I arrived at my room after a long day's hard work. I had really put in the work this time. The whole building was quiet, and I suspected the students h

ELLEN A cold, windy morning it was. I hadn't been prepared for it. Winter had come in too early out of nowhere, and had caught me off guard. I sat at the cafe overseeing the rest of the whole building, while I sipped at the bottle of juice that the waiter had been so kind to drop off. I glanced at my wrist watch, and sighed. He was late again, just as always. I had expected him to be earlier today considering the urgency of things, but as always he had taken his time. Crazy piece of shit, that he was. He didn't matter to me anyways, once all of this ended, I was going to decide on my next move. He walked into the cafe, looking sexy as always. I shook my head in disapproval, that was a rather odd word to use considering our relationship. I wasn't supposed to see him in that light. I stood to my feet, and suddenly a gust of wind hit me. I rubbed my arms slightly, as my teeth chattered. Oh, dear! I was going to freeze out here today. "Ellen," Devan whispe
